From Oscar Beat by Steve Pond:
Stewart, who was born Jonathan Stewart Liebowitz, once told “60 Minutes” that he dropped the name Liebowitz because it “sounded too Hollywood.”
Sorry, Jon. Can’t get much more Hollywood than this new gig of yours.
The inside scoop, I believe, is that Jon had some major issues with his father and dropped the surname because it was his father’s name.
Although he discusses matters like that far less freely than he did nine or ten years ago.
